Emma Passmore, who has won this year's £1,500 prize for the best text message poem, schedules sound crews for programmes such as Blind Date and Pop Idol during the day. But at night, she is a secret writer waiting for a lucky break. For the past year, she has been writing a screen play for a film she hopes to direct herself.

Our text message poetry competition - which coincides with the 10th anniversary of the first text message sent - enters its final stage today, when all participants will be texted the first of the five poems that reached the short list

The Guardian's pioneering text poetry competition attracted nearly 7,500 entries from 4,700 mobile phones. A key part of the exercise, done with Consult Hyperion, was the interactive element. The entries were winnowed down to 100 and given to our judges, Justine Jordan, books editor of Guardian Unlimited, U A Fanthorpe and Peter Sansom. They chose a short list of seven, below, each of which was texted to all participating phones over seven days. Most winners, and entrants, had never written a poem before. This met the main aim - to turn text messaging into a creative force. Sorry for the glitches and thanks to everyone who joined in the fun. Victor Keegan, editor, Online
